 Welcome to the ITU Studio in Geneva. I'm very pleased to be joining the studio today by Eva Spina, who is the ITU Council Chair for 2017. Eva, thank you very much for being with us in the studio today. Thank you to you. Now, I'd like to start off by asking you about Council 2017. What would you say is going to be the main focus? The Council is the governing body of the union in the period between the planning and potential conferences. And now we are at the eve of the PP18 and an important moment of transition between in which we can make an assessment of the results achieved and also to shape the future activities. And for this regard, it's important the adoption of the draft biennial budget for the 2018 and 2019. And because with this act, we can allocate the resources to the strategical goals and objective of the union and also for the operational plan of the next four years. Now, in terms of the key areas, what do you think will be the key areas addressed by Council? This Council has to deal with very important issues. We can remember the status of implementation of CONNECT 2020 for the development agenda. And also we can prepare the conference, the next 18 potential conferences and then the World Telecommunications Development Conference that will be held later this year in Buenos Aires. And then, like each year, we have the work of the Council Group, the Working Council Group and also the expert group of the ITRs that are all important. And why do you think that it's important for Council Member States to take an active part in Council? This is an important thing because the participation of Member States is important, at least for two reasons, because first, the 48 Council have the task to participate and to represent all the Member States, to elect them. And then it's important also to decide together and to share the key issues and also to share the key and the path made together and also the solution achieved. In terms of the role of information and communication technologies, ICTs are now recognized as important to the realization of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. How is ITU promoting ICTs for the achievement of the STGs? ITU is the United Nations Agency for ICT and for this reason it plays an important role in the application of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and a very great number of activities have been established about this. And we can remember also the communication campaign, ICT for SDG, that is a campaign oriented to the stakeholder and two allies and the important role of ICT, a link to SDG. And then there are many other activities for the three sectors and also of the Secretariat to leverage the ICT role in the SDG achievement. Well, Eva, thank you very much for being with us in the studio today and I wish you all the very best for Council this year. Thank you. Thank you very much.
